Per Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Hi. I saw an old flame of mine and stayed with him. He was late in getting me to the airport and this resulted in a comedy of errors... he paid for me to spend the night at a hotel, offered to reimburse me for a new flight I booked (at his suggestion, not mine), and offered to help with other expenses I incurred, as I lost a lot of money because the airline kept cancelling flights after I missed the initial one, due to poor weather. He said he was going to send the money via paypal and said it would take a few extra days because he had to add a new bank account to his paypal account. That was over a week ago, and it's been two weeks since he said he'd help me out financially. Can it honestly take that long, or has he, in all probability, forgotten? Under the circumstances, is it petty to decide to not contact him again if I don't receive the money in a week's time? Thanks.
Confusedalways Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I'd contact him.. you have nothing to lose, really.
zilverenvlinder Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 No way!! You get that money back asap. That's bs. Don't let him walk all over you.
carhill Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Now he's a "really old flame".... L O S E R Don't call him...

You'reasian Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I'll give you the money. Let me see your picture first. LOL. RichGuy you are too funny. But in all honesty, throwing money at women only reinforces their materialistic desires.
RichGuy Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 LOL. RichGuy you are too funny. But in all honesty, throwing money at women only reinforces their materialistic desires. I don't judge them for loving money. Hell, I love money. I pay top dollar for the best lawyers, best consultants, best dancers. High-maintenance women cost a lot of money, and I'm more than willing to help. Per, please send me your pic.
You'reasian Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 . High-maintenance women cost a lot of money, and I'm more than willing to help. Someone might start sending you leads of high-maintenance, materialistic women for a commission. That would be terrible.
Enema Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 IMO, he made one mistake: Got you there late. He made up for that by: Paying for your hotel. Anything else: Paying for your taxi because he was late / new flights etc... your problem for relying on someone who's essentially just a friend.
Author Per Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 Thank you for the responses. I didn't sleep with him until right at the end of our week together. Mostly we just sat watching films and he'd hold my hand and take me out for dinner some nights. He treated me well during that week. Enema, if I just expected him to pay me money, under the circumstances, you're right, it would be unreasonable. However, I never asked him to pay the additional money, he said he would - about three or four times, without me reminding him about his offer to pay the first time. I just accepted it with grace, thanking him for his kindness. Also, when the airline kept cancelling my flight, he suggested that I get a new flight with a more reliable airline, looked up a specific flight and talked to me on the phone about it, insisting that he would pay me back for it if I bought a ticket - because it was starting to look like I would get stuck there for Christmas, and he had gone back home to his family for Christmas already, so wasn't around. He also called my family, and he led them to believe he had already paid for the ticket himself, even though that was not the case. Rich Guy, thanks for the offer, but apparently even though I am beautiful, sexy, exciting, kind, funny and intelligent my ex doesn't want to be around me anymore, so I'm figuring I have serious body odour or some impediment that I am unaware of *ponders*. ;-)
Author Per Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 Someone wrote some replies to my post but they seem to have disappeared. I just want to say thank you (if you read this), as you really made an effort to answer my query. Thank you.
